Book Description
Ella and Micha have been best friends since they were kids. But one tragic night shatters their friendship and their lives forever.
Ella used to be a rule-breaker with fiery attitude who wore her heart on her sleeve. But she left everything behind when she went to college and transformed into someone that follows the rules, keeps everything together, and hides all her problems. But now it's summer break and she has nowhere else to go but home.
Ella fears everything she worked so hard to bury might resurface, especially with Micha living right next door. If Micha tries to tempt the old her back, she knows that it will be hard to resist.
Micha is sexy, smart, confident, and can get under Ella’s skin like no one else can. He knows everything about her, including her darkest secrets. And he’s determined to bring his best friend, and the girl he loves back, no matter what it takes.

My Review:
The Secret of Ella and Micha is an Adult Contemporary novel
by Jessica Sorensen. The novel is about Ella Daniels, a young woman who disappears
from the small town she grew up in an attempt to change who she is and who she
might become. Leaving everything behind, including her real personality. Ella
changes from a girl with a strong attitude to someone who is detached from the
world, she pretends to be the total opposite of who she truly is. However, she
has to return to her hometown for summer break and in doing so she must answer
to those who she left behind. Micha is
Ella’s best friend, the one and only person Ella ever truly felt comfortable with
and whom she shared all her secrets too (and he to her). However, the
boundaries of their friendship were blurring just before she left. During her
stay Ella must try to remain detached from everyone she ever knew and must not
allow her feelings for Micha to resurface. Doing otherwise could jeopardize all
she worked for. This novel is rated mature for sexual content.
Sorensen did an amazing job portraying a situation that a
lot of people go through, young and old. This novel to me is about self-fulfillment,
of finding yourself, accepting who you are and not allowing the environment in
which you grew up in to define you. It
is about love (romantic, steamy love) and friendship. Ella is part of a broken
family and through the novel she learns to cope and work on making it better. I
like this novel because of its deeper meaning. It tells that broken families are not just for
the poor. I also love the relationship between Ella and Micha. Their friendship
and, later, their love for each other, give the novel an added bonus. It has
great character depth, every character was well portrayed. I
Overall, I truly enjoyed this novel. I really recommend it.
It does have sexual scenes so it is not suitable for minors. However, if it
were not because of this I would recommend it to everyone. It has a great
message. Sorensen outdid herself with this novel. Her writing continues to get
better with each novel she writes. If you want a good story get this book. You
will not be disappointed.
